Hand-Held and Other Magnifiers

These magnifiers contain the "traditional" types as well as other kinds seldom seen. To use these types of magnifiers to their fullest potential, the user should have an acceptable light source that shines directly on the desired reading material without creating any shadows. A ggod light to use is one that is a "full spectrum" or "daylight". These light sources provide a more natural light that a standard source and will increase the contrast of the material being looked at. This greater contrast will result in easier reading.
